Wireless router problems

[cold14]

As of late my I've been experiencing problems with my router. What seems to happen is that although the router is clearly on and functioning it just wont let me connect to it. I'm sure that it is the wireless router than is not working and not my receiver. The strange thing is, is that sometimes it will let me connect, like now, and other times the little corner icon will just stay as it is, unconnected and with a cross on it claiming no wireless networks have been found. I updated the firmware and that seemed to fix the problem although now it's back. I'm holding off calling customer support becuase well...you know. My router is the Netgear DG834G v2. Does anyone know why this problem is happening and is there anyway to fix it? Also if there isn't are there any recommended routers I should buy?

Thanks.

hm, I have the same, and I had no problems... looks like its loosing wireless connectivity.

Id suggest any Linskys hat has good reviews on them.

This is odd, the problems seems to be fixed. I'll just wait it out to see if it comes back. Anyway, are Linkskys' routers easy to configure. As in do I just pop in my user name and pass word like I did with my Netgear or is there more to it? I ask becuase I'm as noob as you can be when it comes to networking :/

Its very easy. It also has advanced settings, but is not needed for basic networking.

I am having the same problem. I am able to be on the firewall at times, and then I loose connection to the firewall or the internet. I am off the internet sometimes for hours at a time. I have a lynksis wusd54gc lynksis wireless adapter and a wusb54g lynksis firewall. I am not sure what the problem is if someone has something that I can try besides hard wire I would like it. This is a desktop computer but it is all the way across the house from my firewall and my lan computer.
